Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Uththara Kanda – Sage Kakabhusundi explains the Paramarththa – The human body is the vehicle to attain the Sacchidhananda Swaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam/ Godhead

 

Chapter -96 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Sage Kakabhusundi explains the Paramarththa - The human body is the vehicle to attain the Sacchidhananda Swaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam/ Godhead

 

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Pannagari, the Veda, scriptures, Nigamagama Shastras, Santh, Mahathma, and noble souls highly emphasize the ‘Love and kindness to fellow creatures as Supreme noble character’.  Oh! Khagapathi, the silk clothes are woven out of the silk thread produced by the silkworms are highly praised, likewise, all the creatures are born with impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, Ahamkara, and Mamakara, should strive to achieve devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Rama, thereby get rid of impurities and sufferings of worldly existence. The human body is the vehicle to strive to achieve the final object of pure love and devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari by word, mind, and deed. The wise and learned never admire the Jeeva hostile to Lord Rama, even if he is Lord Bhrama. Oh! Garuda, I have achieved the firm devotion and love at the lotus feet of Rama while I was in the body of crow, and it is deeply rooted in me, hence I dearly love to keep myself in the form of a crow.  Although I have attained the boon of Icchamrithyu/death at one’s wish, I do not want to abandon the body of the crow, because it is the tool to achieve that Sacchidhananda Swaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam, and worship my beloved Lord Rama. The Veda and scriptures highly praise that the veneration of supreme Bhramam is capable only with the bodily frame. Oh! Garuda, I was besieged with the Maya of Mayapathi for some time, I have been indifferent to Lord Rama, hence I was been into troubles constantly, hence I did not get the serenity of the mind. Oh! Garuda, I have practiced Japa, Thapa, Yoga, austerities, performed charities, fire sacrifices, Shamadhamadhi in several births, and I have been indulged in material interest too, but I was never happy before as I am now. Oh! Khagapathi, I could recollect my previous births with the grace of Lord Shambhu, hence I am free from the delusion.”

Chapter -95 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – The Sage Kakabhusundi explains the easiest ways to attain the grace of Lord Sri Rama

 

Garuda speaks “Oh! Prabho, how did the ‘Time’ factor did not influence you? Oh! Kripalu, is that the power of your Yoga or Thapa? Or the depth of spiritual knowledge? Oh! Prabho, all my misapprehensions, and delusions have disappeared the moment I have visited your hermitage. Oh! Prabho kindly explains all that to me.”

Lord Mahadeva speaks “Oh! Uma, the crow Kakabhusundi was highly pleased to listen to the amiable words of Garuda and began to speak affectionately. ‘Oh! Garuda, Oh! Enemy of serpents, you are extremely fortunate, and intelligent, all your questions are very pleasing to me. All your questions asked were reminded of my previous births, Oh! Garuda, I shall describe them elaborately, kindly listen to them attentively with utmost reverence. Oh! Khagapathi, the piousness of performance of Shamadhamadhi/Sathyam, Dhaya, Shamam, Dhamam, Shaucham, Dhanam, Astheyam, Ahimsa, Arjjavam, austerities, vows, penance, Yoga, Japa, Thapa, Yaga, charity, observance of celibacy, meditation, contemplation, etc. are the FRUITS of devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra, without this none could attain serenity of mind. Oh! Garuda, I have attained the fruitfulness of devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Rama with the appearance of a crow, hence the body of crow is dear to me, and it is obvious that we all love the character that brought the ultimate object in our lives.”

Chapter -94 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Garuda requests Sage Kakabhusundi to describe the reason for his appearance as a crow to worship Lord Sri Rama

 

Garuda repeatedly prostrated before Sage Kakabhusundi, and spoke gentle words with folded hands “Oh! Prabho, ocean of mercy, kindly consider me as your sincere servant, Oh! Kripasindhu, Oh! Wise, kindly clear my qualms born out of my ignorance. Oh! Sarbagya, you are the knower of all, you are kind and compassionate, you are wise and intelligent, you are amiable, and storehouse of virtues, and a fervent devotee of Lord Sri Ramachandra, kindly narrate why did you assume the appearance of a crow? And how did you get to know about the exploits of Lord Rama/Sri Ramacharitha Manas? Oh! Prabho, I have heard from Lord Shambhu that even the Mahapralaya could not cause destruction to this beautiful Lake of Sri Ramacharitha. Oh! Prabho, Lord Shambhu never utter a word in futile, therefore the predictions of Lord Shambhu never go to waste.  The Universe and its animate and inanimate things are perishable, including Naga, deities, humans, etc.. meets their death at the end of Yuga, the ‘Time’ factor is unconquerable, has a stronghold on all the animate and inanimate things in the Universe, hence all the animate and inanimate things are perishable.”

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Uththara Kanda – Sage Kakabhusundi describes the easiest way to achieve the grace of Lord Sri Ramachandra - spiritual knowledge is impossible to attain without a preceptor

 

Chapter -93 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Sage Kakabhusundi describes the easiest way to achieve the grace of Lord Sri Ramachandra - spiritual knowledge is impossible to attain without a preceptor

 

Sage Kakabhusundi describes the Viratswaroopa of Lord Sri Hari to Garuda “Oh! Thatha, the supreme Lord Rama is incomparable, the Nigamagamashasthras, Sages, and Rishis eulogize the Lord as there is no deity as Lord Rama, even the Lord Surya has a little bit of taint in him. The Sages and Rishis praise the splendor of the Lord according to their intellect, and they take great pleasure in singing in praise of the Lord who is truly kind and compassionate to his devotees. Oh! Garuda, the virtues of Lord Rama is countless, who can measure the depth of it? I have described a few of them that I have heard from the Santh Mahathma. The Supreme Lord Rama is an ocean of compassion, bliss, and mercy that can be attained only through the practice of pure love and devotion. Therefore, whoever wants to attain the grace of Seethapathi Lord Sri Ramachandra should abandon the Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, Ahamkara, and Mamakara, and excessive interest in worldly matters, possession, richness, wealth, fame, children, wife, companion and relatives, etc.”

 

The King of birds, Garuda was extremely delighted to listen to the nectar-like speeches of Sage Kakabhusundi, he fluttered his wings in extreme joy, tears were overflown, immersed in extreme bliss, started meditating upon the Supreme Lord Rama. Garuda was extremely saddened to remember his illusion, watching the compassionate Lord Rama fastened by the Nagapasha on the battlefield, and considered the supreme Bhramam as a mere mortal. He repeatedly prostrated before Sage Kakabhusundi, remembering he is none other than Rama himself. The Jeeva cannot attain spiritual wisdom without the guidance of a preceptor, even if he is Bhrama or Shambhu. Garuda spoke in tears “Oh! Prabho, I was bitten by the serpent of illusion watching Lord Rama fastened by the Nagapasha on the battlefield. Oh! Sage, the compassionate Lord protected me by sending to you, an ardent devotee of the Lord and thereby saved me from delusion, hence I have got rid of my misapprehension with your grace, I have learned incomparable might of Lord Rama from you.”

Chapter -92 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Sage Kakabhusundi describes the splendor of Lord Rama

 

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Garuda, the supreme Lord Rama has the speed of hundreds and thousands of Maruthgans/ wind, and the has the brilliance of hundred and thousands of sun/Surya, he is pleasant as the hundred and thousands of moon rays, he is the destroyer of grief and sufferings of worldly existence. He is enticing and unapproachable as hundred and thousands of deaths, he is uncontrollable as the hundred and thousands of fire/Agni. He is unfathomable as the Pathaloka/Nether land, and dreadful as Yamas. He has the purifying effects of hundred and thousands of sacred places, the mere utterance of his name would remove the accumulated sins of several births. The hero of Raghu is steady as Mount Himalaya and unfathomable as the ocean, he resembles the divine Kamadhenu/cow, fulfills all the desires of the worshiper. He resembles hundred and thousands of Devi Sharadha who is the goddess of wisdom and knowledge, he resembles hundred and thousands of Lord Bhrama/creativity, he represents several thousand of the preserver/Lord Vishnu and the destroyer/Lord Rudra. He resembles hundred and thousands of Lords Kubera, he is the creator of the Universe and its living and non-living things with the influence of his Maya, he represents Adhishesha who carries the Universe on its hood. Oh! Garuda, he is Jagadheesha/Lord of Universe, who is beyond description and perception as well.”

Chapter -91 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Sage Kakabhusundi describes the importance of devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Rama

 

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Garuda, there won’t be devotion without the faith, Rama never gets pleased without the pure devotion, and the Jeevas cannot achieve serenity of mind, or free from sufferings and grief of worldly existence, and repeated cycles of birth without the grace of Lord Rama. Oh! Garuda, abandon your interest in worldly matters and contemplate upon the lotus feet of Lord of Raghu, Rama who is the fountain of mercy and bliss. I have not learned or have no extraordinary skill, although I have narrated the exploits of Rama according to my intellect, it was the grace of the Lord, I could witness the glories of infant Rama. Oh!  Garuda, Rama is eternal as his exploits/Rama is Anantha like his glorious myths. Rama’s virtues, valor, gracefulness, beauty, intelligence, wisdom, knowledge is beyond description, the Sages, Mahatmas, and noble souls take pleasure in singing in praise of that Lord according to their wits, even the Veda, Devi Saraswathi, Lord Adishesha, and Lord Shambhu are incompetent to describe the splendor of Lord Rama. Oh! Garuda, birds take a flight to the sky, but can’t reach the end of vast sky, likewise, the exploits of Lord Sri Hari are eternal as himself. Lord Rama has the marvelous appearance, possesses the valor of several Durga, enjoys the luxuries of several Indras, and his incarnations are infinite as his glorious myths.”

Chapter -90 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – The significance of the practice of worship of Lord Sri Hari

 

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Khagapathi, 1) is it possible to achieve spiritual knowledge without a preceptor? It’s absolutely no, 2) is it possible to achieve spiritual knowledge without the sense of dispassion? It is absolutely no again, 3) Did Veda Purana Nigamagamashasthras describe happiness without the devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra? Definitely not,  4) Is it possible to achieve peace without contentment/satisfaction? Absolutely no,  5) will a ferry float without water? Definitely not. Oh! Khagapathi, the desires will not stop until you achieve contentment, as long as the desires crop up without a break, there will be no happiness, not even in dreams. 6) Is it possible to get rid of desires without the worship of Lord Rama? Absolutely no, 7) how can a tree grow without the soil? It is possible to achieve serenity of mind without spiritual knowledge? Is it possible to move without space? Is there any piety without the practice of devotion? Oh! Garuda, without penance there is no achievement in spiritual knowledge like there is no smell without the presence of earth, or no taste without water, no virtues without intellect, or no existence of animate and inanimate things without the five elements. In the same manner, the soul cannot achieve bliss without the knowledge of Oneness-in-all, like the sensation of touch cannot be experienced without the presence of air, likewise, the fruitfulness of life cannot be achieved without faith. Oh! Garuda, the fear of death, and transmigration/repeated births will not cease without the practice of worship of Lord Sri Hari.”

Chapter -89 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – The pure love at the lotus feet of Lord Rama is the source of devotion

 

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Khagapathi, the men and women of the Kingdom of Ayodhya, including the supreme Lord Shambhu took great pleasure in the various amusement of infant Rama. Lord Shambhu attired in a garland of the skull, smeared in sacred ashes, adorned in serpents as ornaments, attired in the skin of a leopard, was present to witness the various amusement of infant Rama, and whoever witnessed that lovely childhood sport of Rama won’t yearn for the achievement of Bhramam not even in their dream. Thus, I have lived in Ayodhya for a few years and took great pleasure in the childhood sport of infant Rama, after obtaining the grace of that Lord, and perpetual devotion as a boon, I have returned to my hermitage and continued meditation and contemplation upon Lord Sri Hari, afterward I have not fallen victim of the formidable Maya of that Mayapathi Lord Rama. Oh! Garuda, I have narrated how the Maya of that Mayapathi made me dance to her tune, Oh! Khagapathi, I shall tell you the truth, unless and until we worship at the lotus feet of Lord Rama, our troubles will not end. Oh! King of birds, the devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Rama can’t be achieved without his grace, without firm faith you cannot achieve love at the lotus feet of Lord Rama. Therefore, pure love at the lotus feet of Lord Rama is the source of ‘Devotion’/Bhakthi.”

Chapter -88 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Sage Kakabhusundi describes the boon he has received from Lord Rama

 

Lord Rama speaks “Oh! Kakabhusundi, whoever be it Purusha/male, Nari/female, or Napumsaka/mixed gender, or any creatures or animate or inanimate things worship me I would ensure their protection, if they adore me with innocent heart, they are supremely dear to me. Oh! Khaga, the sincerity of the worshiper lures my heart, hence worship me with pure love and devotion, without any desire or personal motive. I shall promise you, the ‘Time’ will not take control over you, worship me with intense devotion and faith.” Sage Kakabhusundi speaks to Guruda “Oh! Khagapathi, after listening to the nectar-like speeches of Rama, I was transported to a state of bliss, my bodily hairs stood upright. The joy I have felt that moment was beyond description, my eyes were beholding the beauty of that Lord, how can they describe the splendor of that Lord? Thus, Lord Rama pacified me in many ways, after that once again sported like an infant Rama on the patio of the grand palace of Ayodhya, after some time the infant Rama’s started to cry looking at his mother Devi Kausalya, eyes were filled with tears as if he was hungry. Soon Devi Kausalya rushed to her child, and carried him on her bosom, and began to feed the child singing the exploits of Lord Rama.”

Chapter -87 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Lord Rama describes the nature of the Jeeva who is dear as his life

 

Lord Rama spoke “Oh! Kakabhusundi, who does not love a sincere servant, an ardent devotee? Listen to me carefully, I shall describe an interesting note described by the Veda and scriptures.  A father has nine sons and each of them has different qualities, virtues, and nature. One of them became learned, another one became spiritual seeker, another one undertook austerities, Japa, Thapa, etc. the fourth one became wealthiest, the fifth one became warrior, the sixth one became noble and highly generous, the seventh one has deep knowledge in different fields, and the eighth one is pious, but father loves all his sons dearly. The ninth son was too devoted to his father by word, mind, and deed; hence his father was too attached to him, obviously loved that son dearly as his life. Oh! Kakabhusundi, in this way, all the animate and inanimate things in the Universe are created by me with the influence of my inseparable Maya, hence all are dear to me, I am equally fond of them. Although, whoever devoted to me by word, mind, and deed, leaving interest in worldly matters, richness, fame, money, wealth, possession, children, wife, relatives, and companion, and free from the impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, Mathshcharya, Ahamkara, and Mamakara,  are dearer as my life.”

The compassionate Lord Rama spoke “Oh! Kakabhusundi, now onwards you will be free my formidable Maya, it will not cloud your mind anymore, henceforth you will be equivalent to Bhramam, which is pure, unblemished, changeless, free from afflictions, has neither birth nor death. Oh! Kakabhusundi, my devotees are always dear to me, knowing that continue to practice devotion by words, mind, and deeds, strictly adhere to the principles and teachings of Veda and scriptures that eulogize the worship of me with words, mind, and deed. The Universe and its living and non-living things have been created with the Maya of mine, it is not real, it's mere illusion, and has fleeting nature. I love all the animate and inanimate things in this Universe I have created with the influence of Maya, and humans are the dearest among them, 1) the Bhramanas who are well versed in Veda and scriptures, strictly follow the principles of Veda, are the most beloved of mine, 2)  and another favorite of mine is Jeeva who is dispassionate, abandoned the interest in worldly matters and material things such as fame, money, richness, wealth, children, wife, relatives and companion, etc. has the knowledge of ‘Oneness-in-all’ 3) and most favorite of mine is the Jeeva who is surrendered to me by word, mind, and deed. Oh! Kakabhusundi, there is no one dear as my devotees, even if it is Lord Bhrama or any teeny tiny creature worships me I would assure protection to them in all their lives, my devotees are beloved of mine.”

Sage Kakabhusundi appeals to Lord Rama “Oh! Prabho, kindly offer me Ananyabhakthi/Abiralabhakthi, perpetual devotion at your lotus feet as a boon. Oh! Bhagathakalpatharu, Oh! Yogeesa, the delighter of the souls, Oh! Kripasindhu, Oh! Sukhadhama, Oh! Rama, kindly blesses me with uninterrupted devotion at your lotus feet, which was highly eulogized by the Veda and Shastras, Rishis, and Sages. The Santh Mahathma and the noble souls relentlessly contemplate and meditate upon it, that too achievable with the grace of you.” The Supreme Lord Rama replied “Yevamasthu/ So be it’, The compassionate Lord Rama began to speak “Oh! Kakabhusundi, you are wise and highly fortunate to achieve perpetual devotion as a boon, pure devotion is the source of joy, you have opted for it. The Sages and Rishis undertake austerities, penances, Shamadhadhi for several years, and emaciated their bodies in Japa or Thapa, even after all these they fail to achieve Anananya Bhakti. I am extremely pleased to watch your pure love and devotion, which is dear to my heart. Oh! Kakabhusundi, you would achieve all those virtues, wisdom, devotion, spiritual knowledge, dispassion, Yoga, Japa, and the knowledge of exploits of my various incarnations and its purposes, with my grace, hence you need not undergo self-discipline and austerities anymore.”

Chapter -84 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Sage Kakabhusundi desires for perpetual devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Rama

 

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Garuda, the compassionate Lord watching me in distress, spoke words like nectar “Oh! Kakabhusundi, I have highly pleased with your devotion, you can ask for a boon, you can ask for anything you wished to achieve, ask for Ashtasidhdhi, or wealth, or Gyana, or Bibeka, or Birakthi,  or Vigyana, or virtues or Moksha which is difficult to achieve even after several thousand years of Tapasya, I am highly pleased with you, hence ask for anything you wish that pleases your mind.” Upon hearing the kind words of Lord Rama, I have immersed in various thoughts “The supreme Lord Sri Rama is absolute Bhramam, otherwise, he won’t offer me boons, but he did not offer the perpetual devotion at his lotus feet as a boon, without devotion at the lotus feet of the Lord, the rest of the boon such as wealth, fame, richness, money, wisdom, virtues, etc. would be worthless, it would be an extravagant meal without salt in it.” Oh! Garuda, I have replied to the Lord “Oh! Prabho, there won’t be no happiness without devotion and adoration at your lotus feet, Oh! Antharyami, you are the knower of all, you are kind and affectionate to your devotees, kindly bless me with the boon close to my heart.”

Chapter -83 – Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Sage Kakabhusundi got rid of Maya of Mayapathi

 

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Garuda, the compassionate Lord Rama watching me in distress inside his belly gave out a smile, instantly I flew out of his mouth, soon I have witnessed the infant child Rama immersed in various childhood pastimes with his brothers on the marvelous patio of King Dhasharatha. I have tried to reason myself in all possible ways but nothing could bring peace to me. Oh! Garuda, while I was inside the belly of that infant Lord Rama, I was horrified to watch infinite Bhramanda, animate and animate things, I lost my consciousness, cried pitifully “Oh! Prabho, kindly protect me.” The merciful Lord Rama who can’t bear his devotees in distress, brought me out of his belly, and looked at me gracefully and patted on my head affectionately, soon I have got rid of trepidations and sorrow, thus the supreme Lord Rama relieved me from Maya, my heart raced with pure love for Lord Rama, my bodily hairs stood upright, with the eyes full of tears, and folded hands, I eulogized the supreme Lord Rama in marvelous verses.”

Sage Kakabhusundi describes the infinite Bhramanda witnessed in the stomach of infant Rama “Oh! Garuda, each Bhramanda has distinctive nature and marvelous was beyond description. Oh! Garuda, during my visit to the infinite Bhramanda I haven’t seen my beloved infant Rama, it was my illusion I have witnessed the exceedingly beautiful and graceful infant Rama in all those Bhramanda. Oh! Garuda, I have been wandering several Yugas in the infinite Bhramanda, after that, I have returned to my hermitage and spent some time.  During my stay in the hermitage, I have heard the birth of Lord Sri Hari as the son of King of Kosala once again, I have rushed to the city of Ayodhya to witness the birth and the celebration took place with regard to the birth of the infant Rama and his three brothers, which I have already described to you. The infinite Bhramanda I have witnessed in the stomach of infant Rama was beyond description. Once again, I have become the victim of the Maya of Mayapathi, who is gracious and wise, I have witnessed the infinite Bhrmanda in less than an hour, I was completely astounded and lost in the maze.”

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Garuda, I have seen all those I haven’t seen or heard so far, inside the stomach of infant Rama, which was beyond perception and description. I have stayed hundreds of years in each Bhramanda, which is countless in numbers and has the shape of an egg. Oh! Garuda, each Bhramanda has its own creator, /Lord Bhrama, the preserver Lord Vishnu and the destroyer/Lord Shiva, Manu, Dhikpalakas, humans, celestial Gandharva, Bhootha Bethala, Kinnara, Nishachara, animals and birds, demons and deities, and all the animate and inanimates things in the Universe. There were multitudes of oceans, mountains, rivers, woodlands, and each Universe has different nature, I have seen myself in all the Bhramanda, and each Universe has its own Ayodhya, the river Sarayu, men and women. I have seen infant Rama’s brothers, mothers, and King Dhasharatha in the infinite Bhramanda, also witnessed the descendent of Raghu, and various childhood sport of his brothers Bharatha, Lakshman, and Shathrughna.”

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Garuda, I flew to Sathyaloka, Bhrama’s abode and looked back and realized that the two hands of Lord Rama were following me all the way to the seven Universe, penetrating through the Bhramanda, I flew high as I could and found the hand of the infant Rama following me everywhere, I was terrorized by the sight and closed my eyes when I opened my eyes, I found myself in the Ayodhyapuri, on the courtyard where the four infants were performing childhood pastimes. Oh! Garuda, Rama smiled at me watching me in extreme terror, even I was laughed watching the infant, soon I was trapped into the mouth of that Lord, Oh! Garuda, inside the belly of infant Rama I have witnessed several Bhramanda, innumerable spheres, Lord Bhrama, Rudras, Shivas, deities, mountains, oceans, countless stars, moons, suns, Lokapalas, Yamas, Kalas, lakes, rivers, animate and inanimate things, Siddhas, Kinnaras, Nagas, humans in each Bhramanda.”

Chapter - 79– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – The grief and sufferings of worldly existence cannot get eliminated without the devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra

 

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Khagapathi, the Jeeva who strive to achieve bliss with the knowledge in scriptures and Veda, Agamanigamashasthras, without pure love and devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra, are demons. Oh! Garuda, the darkness of the night will not disappear without the sunlight, even if all the mountains are set to fire or in the light of full moon. Likewise, the sufferings and grief of worldly existence cannot get eliminated without adoring the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra. The Avidhya/ignorance has no place in the mind and heart of the devotees of Lord Sri Ramachandra, the Vidhya/knowledge of Bhramam/Oneness in all, uphold the virtues of the devotees of Rama, hence the devotee of Rama never falls in the cycles of birth and death. Oh! Garuda, listen to me carefully, when I was overwhelmed to watch the purpose of the incarnation of Lord Sri Hari as the son of King of Kosala, he smiled at me and crawled towards me, in order to get hold of me, none of his mothers or brothers have noticed the infant Rama rushing towards me. The beautiful infant rushed towards me, crawling on his knees, at that moment, I took a flight from the ground, Oh! Garuda, the next moment I have seen the hands of Rama stretched towards to get hold of me, as I was darting to the sky the hand of infant of Rama was following me ceaselessly. I have felt his hand following me towards the sky.”

Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Uththara Kanda – Sage Kakabhusundi besieged by the Maya of Mayapathi

 

Chapter - 78– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Sage Kakabhusundi besieged by the Maya of Mayapathi

 

Sage Kakabhusundi speaks “Oh! Garuda, whenever I get close to the infant Rama, he gets highly thrilled watching me, and when I flutter away that would put him into tears, and when I approach the Lord to get hold of his feet, he hurriedly crawls back to his mother’s looking back at me several times. I was overcome with bewilderment to watch that Sacchidhanandha Swaroopa Paramathma Parmbhramam Lord Sri Hari who is bliss and wisdom personified as infant Rama performs all those childhood pastimes like any other ordinary child, that was the moment I was fallen victim to the Maya of Lord of Raghu, eventually, I had several doubts in my mind. The unconquerable Maya of that Lord did not put me into grief like any ordinary Jeeva drenched in worldly matters and attachment to possession, fame, wealth, richness, money, wife, children, relatives and companion, etc. Oh! Garuda, listen to me carefully, all the creatures of animate and inanimate are influenced by the Maya of Mayapathi, if all had the nature of attributeless Paramathma, there won’t be any difference between the Paramathma and Jeevathma. The formidable Maya of Mayapathi represents the Thrigunas/Sathvik, Rajasik, and Thamasik, controlled by Mayapathi, and the Jeeva is dependent on these Thrigunas, and the Paramathma is free from the Thrigunas/attributeless. The Jeeva is infinite, and the Paramathma is Yeka/one and only the beloved Lord of Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi. The infinite Jeeva created out of the Maya of Mayapathi, is an illusion/unreal,  and the delusion can be get rid of with the grace of that Supreme Lord Rama.”

Chapter - 77– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Sage Kakabhusundi describes the childhood pastimes of Lord Rama

 

Sage Kakabhusundi passionately speaks “Oh! Garuda, the infant Rama has a deep navel and has beautiful three lines on the belly, his broad chest is adorned in various precious ornaments, his teeny-tiny fingers, nails, long arms are adorned in various ornaments, he has attractive shoulders that resemble the lion cub, he has conch shaped neck, the beauty of his lovely chin, cheeks, nose, lips are beyond description, his speeches are undistinguishable, he has lovely pairs of teeth lustrous as the moon, partially revealing through the red lips. His beautiful long eyes resemble blue lotus flower petals, capable to remove the sufferings of worldly existence, his lustrous forehead bears the symbol of vermilion and sandalwood paste, he has beautiful bow-shaped eyebrows, he is adorned in marvelous ear ornaments, his dark and curly hair lock beautifully scattered around his face, his elegant movements crawling on the gem decorated patio, his shrill and gleeful smile, unclear speeches, and beautiful glances captivated me.  Oh! Garuda, The Sacchidhanandha Swaroopa Paramathma Parambhramam personified as Rama dances to the movement of his shadow, gleefully watching his own shadow spends merrier time with me, those are beyond words. He rushes towards me with extreme joy to get hold of me, and I flutter away from him with fear, soon he will show a piece of sweet pudding to get me closer to him.”
